In their Friday Op-Ed column, "A defensive war: Israel's determined enemies leave it no option," Republican Whip Eric Cantor and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer claim that Ariel Sharon's goal with the Gaza disengagement "was an international show of good faith to kick-start a moribund peace process by giving the Palestinians what they asked for: full control of Gaza. This claim is notoriously false. Dov Weisglass, architect of the Gaza disengagement plan and former Sharon chief of staff, indicated as much in an interview with Haaretz:
JERUSALEM - A top adviser to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said in a published interview Wednesday that Israel's planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip is meant to delay the establishment of a Palestinian state indefinitely, and claimed the United States supports the policy. The blunt assessment by Dov Weisglass, Sharon's point man with the Bush administration, came a week into a broad Israeli incursion in Gaza that has killed 75 people.
Lies and statecraft are almost synonymous these days. Pity John Q. Public trying to figure out the difference between true lies and genuine lies. Any suggestion Ariel Sharon was deliberately scuttling the Mideast peace process was automatically branded anti-Israeli, even anti-Semitic. And this despite three former Israeli intelligence chiefs who leveled the same charge against the Israeli prime minister. Now we have Mr. Sharon's recently resigned chief of staff, Dov Weisglass, confirming in an interview with Ha'aretz, Israel's leading newspaper, the policy is to pre-empt any possibility of a Palestinian state. Mr. Weisglass remains Mr. Sharon's attorney - and close friend.

JERUSALEM - The real objective of Ariel Sharon's offer to withdraw from the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank is to freeze Palestinian statehood indefinitely, with U.S. blessing, the prime minister's point man with the Bush administration acknowledged in an interview published today. The adviser, Dov Weisglass, also said Israel is avoiding negotiations with the Palestinians because it does not want to be forced into concessions on issues such as the future of Jerusalem and the fate of millions of Palestinian refugees.
